Ok so most of you know i did a 14/45 sprocket swap kat rear wheel swap kat 750 rear shock swap and cleaned the carbs. Shinko tires front and rear 160/60 front 120/60 front.Turns fuel shutoff under take on,  bolted tank back down, set petcock to pri waited about 30 seconds and hit the start button.  Instant grin from ear to ear.  My wife loked at me and went and got my helmet.  She knew what i wanted.  It has been sitting for like 4 months now.  We got the shed built and so there was a place to park the bike outside now so out she went.  I really needed more room to keep working on the wifes bike.  Ok so heres what i think  :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:  Its like a new bike all over again.  This thing is a beast.  I love how it feels under me.  Here are some pics of the bike right after i came back home.

Looks great.  That work on the rims really paid off.   How'd those big Shinkos work out?

Nice, those wheels look great. I wish Suzuki would sell something to cover up the gap left by removing the grab bar. They do for the sv, I don't know why they don't for the gs.  :dunno_black:

Looks great with the wheel job, Josh, nice!  You should have posted a pic from the rear to show-off that big honkin' back tire.

What's up with your left mirror?  Adjusted it to admire yourself?  :D
